Time for Captain Morgan to ride the next wave

MORGAN GIBBS-WHITE may break uncharted ground with Nottingham Forest this evening.

The skipper could lead his club into a Wembley final for the first time in 34 years.

But for how much longer will he wear the Garibaldi Red?

Whenever clubs such as the former European champions appear from nowhere to enjoy success they have not tasted for more than a generation, there are usually a few reasons.

Yes, their defence is among the best in the Premier League.

The addition of Nikola Milenkovic - a £12million steal from Fiorentina last summer - is one of the best-value signings of the past 12 months.

His two pals at the back, keeper Matz Sels and fellow centre-back Murillo, make up arguably the strongest trio in the entire division.

Midfielder Elliot Anderson has thrived in his first full season. He will improve and he should also receive regular international recognition.
